It is stunning isn't it - truly awesome. My son sent me the link a few days ago and I think I've watched it at least a dozen times!!

Wow. Thanks for posting that.

Excellent, love this sort of stuff. Like the shockwave as she slips effortlessly through the barrier . 0-60 in just over 4 seconds and supersonic in about 45 seconds or so, now thats going some!

Brilliant.

Just as it says on the tin - AWESOME !!

This is stunning and the sound is incredible. I always wish I'd seen a shuttle launch. Thank God for YouTube

Unfortunatley I suspect some of the groans and creaks are manufactured. It does say the sound people have had a go at it! Anyway I thought in space nobody could hear you scream!
